SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for an extension of a currently approved
information collection and is sponsored by NOAA's Southeast Fisheries
Science Center (SEFSC).
The objective of the data collection effort under OMB Control
Number 0648- 0769 is to understand how anglers respond to changes in
trip costs and/or fishing regulations in the Gulf of Mexico. This will
improve the analysis of the economic effects of proposed changes in
fishing regulations and changes in economic factors that affect the
cost of fishing such as fuel prices. The survey will be used to develop
predictive models that forecast how fishing effort changes when either
trip costs change or when fishing regulations (season length or bag
limits) change. The survey will ask about the number of trips anglers
take under current costs and regulations and anticipated number of
trips when costs and/or regulations change.
The population to be surveyed consists of those anglers who fish in
the Gulf of Mexico from Florida, including those who possess a license
to fish, and those who are not required to have a license (e.g.,
seniors). The sample will be drawn from the list of licensed Florida
anglers and/or Florida private boat owners using the state of Florida's
boat registration list. With the boat registration list, the sample can
be targeted to anglers who fish for offshore species, when desired, and
will capture those who fish from a boat but may not be required to have
a fishing license (e.g. seniors). Anglers and/or boat owners will be
either emailed an invitation to the online survey or mailed a postcard
that directs them to a website to complete the survey. A limited number
of anglers who do not respond to the online survey may receive a paper
survey in the mail.
II. Method of Collection
Surveys will be conducted using two modes: Internet and mail.
